About Bona sera
Thomas Mancinus's Bona sera sets a lively Italian text, painting a charming scene of lovers meeting and parting. The words express a tender farewell, with the singer addressing their beloved as 'my heart' and lamenting not having seen them since the previous day. A moment of intimacy occurs as they touch hands before parting. This secular madrigal for SATB voices captures the playful, conversational spirit characteristic of the genre. Its engaging text and intimate setting make it a delightful choice for choirs seeking to explore the expressive possibilities of Renaissance part-music.
